OPERATIONS
Sandblasting
The Model M1055 Sandblaster is equipped with an indus-
trial-duty blast gun with ceramic tip, siphon hose, work
light, large viewing window, and sealed rubber gloves.
The hopper recycles and stores the sandblasting media for
reuse or easy removal.
To use the sandblaster, do these steps:
1. Wear safety goggles and a NIOSH approved
respirator at all times when operating or
maintaining your sandblaster!
2. Plug in the transformer and turn the light ON.
3. Install the correct nozzle and air jet into the gun for
the abrasive type you will use. Refer to Page 9 for
options.
4. Carefully, without causing a hazardous dust cloud,
pour or spade-in ten pounds of abrasive into the
sandblaster. DO NOT over-fill or sandblasting may be
sluggish and cloudy inside of the cabinet.
5. Insert the workpiece, and close and lock the loading
window.
